Wandering Tangents

I realize

I never said

What I meant to

When I started writing

I do that a lot, don’t I

Maybe it’s the ADHD

Maybe it’s just an excuse for me

Either way – tangents always

Seem to manage to take me away

Far from whatever I meant to say

The only reason I could claim

This poem isn’t the same

Is that it never really had

Anything it was trying to say

I guess that’s why I like writing

This way – aimlessly so I know

I don’t have to worry about

Where I end up, because

I wasn’t going anywhere

Important, anyways
